My ds wrote fire... It was one of the Compo his Eng tutor taught them too! So I guess robbery is fine too cos one of his classmate wrote robbery too n the tutor said it was good !Elpis:

I know that for Chinese, my son has always been advised to do picture. One of his past SA he did 'ming ti', he got only 26. But how about Eng? I'm worried coz he chose the 2nd one (not picture) and wrote about roberry. Hope it's ok.

Verysuperkiasu:
If a child is strong in English, they will find pic compo restrictive and nothing much to write. Moreover, the content for picture compo will be more or less the same and they might not get a high score. They will usually go for situational compo so that they can write more than 4 pages, have a more varied/interesting plot and score. Heard from a teacher, the markers pay more attention on content (more objective and less tedious to mark, i guess) and some compos with good content (and relatively good grammar) can even get full marks.MummySTay:
If do picture - won't go out of point!

As for the English compo last Thursday, writing about robbery is fine cos the question says \"people running out of a shop\" or something. -

:welcome: szac!Hi! Everyone I am a newbie just saw all your posting and feel everyone is experiencing the same stress for PSLE... I have 2 children , one PSLE another O level.. my stress is double for this year.... my younger one is weak in maths and after the paper he does not want to talk about at all... it's difficult for me to check with him what are the questions as he does not want to utter a word... I guess he feels real stress inside him... hence I do not want to burden him and in fact I told him there will be no more such problem sums as you go into secondary... don't worry just do better for the other 2 papers chinese and science....
As far as I know, some kids did very well in their PSLE but do not do well in secondary, reason they just want to score at that time... when they reach secondary they suddenly feel free can relax hence they drop during sec 1 and sec 2... especially sec 2 streaming....my older boy's some classmates score 240 drop normal during sec 2 and sec 3.... hence it's very important they that do real learning instead of scoring just for exam , they can remember better....
I have not much problem with my older child but my younger one is more sensitive hence I guess kids of this batch we parents have to spend more time to coach them...
And Sama-Sama Boat We Ride in this Year!
Just Like U, even though we got 2 kids taking exam this year,
As Long as we know our Kids, and Manage our Expectations, (Not every Kid is in Top Class in Sch ....), and be Supportive to them, Our little Ones shd be Fine

For good Science tuition centre, you can try Vitamindz Science, School of Primary Science.
They emphasise on real experiments, a lot of visuals. My ds went for the PSLE preparatory class in June and was enriched by the teaching. -

Oh! good to hear that! Yes! We will be supportive throughout.... just be alert of what they do... especially when they turn teens.... they will be very curious when they go into secondary, alot of things....hence we need to stay a lookout...
